Demote structure elements

Procedure

1. In Systems Engineering, double-click a requirement, functional model, or logical model to open it in its own view.
2. Click a plus (+) sign to expand the structure to find the target structure element.
3. Select the structure element to demote.
4. Choose Edit→Demote One Level.
   • You can also click Demote One Level on the toolbar, or drop the element one level lower in the structure.

The selected structure element and its children move to the next lower level, as a child of the immediately preceding sibling at the previous level.

Note: If the structure element to demote is the first element at any level, you receive an error message stating that the selected object cannot be demoted.

If the structure element to demote has a parent that is released, you receive an error message stating that the select object cannot be demoted.
